How the day works

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.

On request. Crockery or disposables are available.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Timings and hours
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
